The Sydney experience

Sydney is an incredible destination, top of the list of places to see before they die for so many people. Even those who are fortunate enough to have been there and experienced the city for themselves, they all come back filled with glowing praise for this Australian gem.

Whatever you''re seeking on your holiday, Sydney most definitely has it: fantastic beaches where you can lounge in the sun; smart shops and boutiques to buy something special for yourself or to take back home; engaging, fascinating museums; top bars and restaurants too. As well as all this, the iconic landmarks which make Sydney''s and even the entire country''s identity in the consciousness of the rest of the world have to be seen too. Indeed, plenty of Brits head there for a holiday and end up coming back to make the move for good.

The best place to start in Sydney is the harbour. The world-famous Darling Harbour is a splendid example of a successful waterfront development, of which the locals are rightly proud.

There is so much entertainment to be had for all the family there during the daytime, with an aquarium, IMAX theatre, and museums to explore. It is a great place to spend some time.

When darkness falls however, Darling Harbour comes to life in a whole different way, with a great casino, the Lyric Theatre and the Star Theatre, as well as more great nightlife spots. Young or old, the place offers a great deal for you to enjoy.

However, as darkness descends this is a place for adults to come out and play. There is the Star City Casino, the Lyric Theatre and the Star Theatre, plus some of the city''s best clubs, bars and restaurants and happy hour seems to go on forever.

As you walk towards Millers Point the spectacular Sydney Harbour Bridge will come into view. But before you walk past this amazing metal feat of engineering, visit the Sydney Observatory, the Rocks Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art.

There is splendid choice when it comes to hotels, many of which are just as cosmopolitan and stylish as the city itself.

Hotel wise you will be spoilt for choice. Just like the city, they are chic, stylish and contemporary. Price can vary hugely though. But, this usually coincides with location and star quality. The best and most luxurious hotels are found near Darling Harbour and Oxford Street. More budget friendly hotels can be found across the Bridge at Manly or around Bondi and Coogee or gentrified neighbourhoods Redfern and Surry Hills.
